To alla-hom it mayZcolwwn`.-` Beit known-.that I, WILLIAM A. SM1TH,'ofDresser f ville, in the county ot' Cayuga-and State of New York, I `haveinve'nted anew and. improved Saw-Set; andI do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear,

skilled in the art-to make anduse the same, reference beinghad to the.accompanyingdrawing forming part of-this specieation..` i rlhis invention relates to an improved `saw-set wh ich 3; isadapted for setting the` teeth of cross-cntsaws by i driving a tool,`resembling, in s0n`aerespect,.tl`e common upsetting tool used for' `spreading the eeth of `saws cutting with the grainof the wood, against the points ofthe teeth?. p l I Figure l` is a side elevation of' my improved sa\v' setyand l" 'l Figure 2 is a frontelevation of the same. Similarv letters of reference `indicate corresponding yrarts. y' V P `A is asteel bar, of any approved size, shaped 'at the ing upont with alight hammer. e "At the base of the part forming the handle a mortise, `15", is made throughit from side to side.

From the lower end of this mortise the ba'r is narrowed, so that the edge O is "in the same plane, or

" tise, and a` notch, E, is madeat the corner of the `andeimet description thereof,`\vl1i`ch willenable others4 upper end suitably for holdiugiin` the hand whiledriv-i "l verynearly, as the plane of'thefwallD of the morl WILLIAMsA. SMITLLOF DRESSERVILLE, NEW Yo-RK.

IMPROVEMENT IN .SAW-SETS.

TheSehedule referred to in these ,Letters Patent and making part of the same.

lnortise into it above this wallO, by cutting off the corner F ofthe side wallof the mortise about as wide as the thickness ofthe teeth ofthe saws to be set. G is the 'gauge-spring attached to the tool at the `corner of themortise diagonally across the latter from the notch E, extending to thelower wall; and

H is a temper-screw screwing through the stock into'the mortisel against the spring near `the lower end for settngout toward the notchE, more or less, as may be required.

.'In using ,this tol, the wall C is placed by the side of the saw-plate, and the point of the tooth is placed in the notch E against the oblique wall F. The tool is then poundedby a hammer until the point of the.

tooth is'bent over so Aas to touch the spring, which,

being adjusted to or'from the notch,`regulates the set [of the teeth. g' y* Instead ofthe spring-gauge, a sliding block may be .used for vthe same purpose with good results.

Having thus described my invention,

.[ claim as newl and desire 'to secure by Letters Pati ent 'lhe improved saw-setting tool, having the mortise B, wall G, notch E, oblique wall F, gauge-spring, and screw-all arranged substantially as specified.
